Jeremy Corbyn to give first pro-EU campaign speech as Boris Johnson plans 'Brexit blitz'

Jeremy Corbyn to give first pro-EU campaign speech as Boris Johnson plans 'Brexit blitz'
Boris Johnson will lead a 48 hour "Brexit blitz" while he and five cabinet ministers create a series of speeches throughout the UK beginning the case to get a Britain to exit the EU.

Vote Leave, which can be led by Michael Gove the Justice Secretary, was yesterday endorsed as being the official Brexit campaign group after months of in-fighting among eurosceptics.

The decision through the Electoral Commission means it's going to be given £7million of state funding to make the truth for Britain to depart the EU throughout the referendum campaign.

It leaves Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, with no formal role inside Out campaign after his personal organisation missed out around the designation.

And it prompted a furious row as as Aaron Banks, the primary executive with the Leave.EU campaign group, threatened to mount a legitimate challenge over what he condemned as being a "political stitch up".

If successful the move could delay the EU referendum debate until October. However, Downing Street stated that the June 23 referendum date ended up set down in law.

It came as Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, criticised the Government for spending £9million on the pro-EU leaflet.

He suggested that this Government ought to have spent half in the money over a leaflet making the way it is for Britain to depart the European Union.

Mr Corbyn, that has previously been highly critical in the European Union and also the power it holds over member states, will today make his first speech to be replaced by remaining in.

In a previous article aiming his eurosceptic views, later deleted from Mr Corbyn's website, he wrote: "The project has long been to create a huge free-market Europe, with ever-limiting powers for national parliaments along with an increasingly powerful common foreign and security policy."

Today he'll almost certainly say the UK should vote to remain inside the EU "warts and all" because "you cannot develop a better world if you don't engage with the globe, build allies and deliver change".

But he'll almost certainly reassert his concerns around the EU too, stating: "Over time I have stayed critical of countless decisions taken through the EU  and I remain critical of the shortcomings, looking at the lack of democratic accountability for the institutional pressure to deregulate or privatise public services.

“So Europe would need to change. But that change are only able to come from using the services of our allies inside the EU. It’s fairly simple to be critical yet still be convinced we need to stay a member."

He will likely launch a stinging attack on David Cameron, one from the most vocal supporters on the In campaign and technically among Mr Corbyn's allies from the cause to maintain the UK inside 28 member-state bloc.

He is predicted to say that this Prime Minister "has no interest" in reforming Europe, adding that Mr Cameron has never done enough to cooperate with the EU to combat Chinese steel dumping.


His comments will fuel concerns that Mr Corbyn doesn't fully keep the UK remaining inside the EU, amid concerns that without him will probably be difficult for the In campaign to steer Labour voters.

On Friday Mr Johnson will "kick off" Vote Leave's campaign which has a speech in Manchester, before you go on to give speeches in Leeds and Newcastle for the following day.

The Mayor of London has previously been described being a "Heineken politician" as a result of his capacity to appeal to non-Tory voters.

He is anticipated to make the truth for large towns outside London to vote to go out of in a bid to further improve their economic success.

Mr Gove will deliver a speech in Nottingham while Priti Patel will speak in Birmingham. Chris Grayling the Leader from the Commons, and Theresa Villiers, the Northern Ireland Secretary, can even give speeches for Vote Leave.


It came as Leave.EU, the Out campaign which lost over to Vote Leave from the race to get the official campaign yesterday, reacted furiously to missing out for the nomination.

Immediately as soon as the decision was announced Arron Banks, the founder of Leave.EU, said however be seeking a judicial review for the decision that they dubbed a "political stitch-up". But just hours later the campaign gave the impression to retract your decision, claiming instead to become consulting lawyers on whether or not to take further action after its umbrella campaign, the GO Movement, lost over to Vote Leave.

In contrast, Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader and key figure from the GO movement congratulated the winning campaign and vowed to utilize it to battle for Brexit.


He said: "Regardless of whichever campaign got the designation, UKIP would also have played a large role within this campaign because the only national party dedicated to leaving the EU and having a substantial £4 million spending limit.  "We in UKIP, as I've said from the beginning, works with anybody that wants to exit the EU. We must band together to get our country out in the European Union."

Will Straw, the executive director of Britain Stronger in Europe, the winning In campaign, said: "I congratulate Vote Leave on his or her designation about the other side on the campaign but this time is the time to help them to come clean together with the British people and say what Out appears like. That is the least this vital debate deserves.”
